If the boxes are solid and the layout works, tearing your cabinets out mostly pays for demolition you don’t need. Paint gives you a new color and a hard, clean finish on the cabinets you already own. The catch is that cabinets show everything. One drip, one brush line, one skipped degreasing step, and you’ll see it every time you reach for a glass. That’s the part we obsess over.
It starts with a free in-home visit and a written, itemized quote, so you know exactly what you’re getting before a single door comes off its hinges.
Cabinets & Built-Ins We Refinish
A whole kitchen, one tired vanity, or the built-in bookcase that never matched the room: we degrease, sand, prime, and finish it so it reads as new.
Kitchen Cabinets
Doors, drawer fronts, face frames, and boxes all get the same careful prep, so the kitchen looks like one finished piece.
Bathroom Vanities
Steam and splashes are hard on a vanity. We use moisture-tough enamels that hold their finish in a busy bathroom.
Islands & Built-Ins
Paint the island an accent color or pull the built-ins into your new scheme. Crisp edges, even sheen, no brushy look.
Cabinet Doors & Drawers
Taken down, labeled, and finished on both faces and every edge, not just the side you see from the kitchen table.
Laundry & Mudroom Cabinets
The cabinets that take muddy boots and detergent spills get the same durable enamel we put in the kitchen.
Full Color Changes
Honey oak to soft white, cherry to navy, builder-grade to two-tone. The right primer keeps old wood tones from bleeding through.

Our Cabinet Painting Process, Step by Step
Cabinets take more prep than any wall in your house. This is exactly how we get a hard, smooth finish that stands up to daily use.
Step 1: Free In-Home Estimate & Color Choice
We check the cabinet material and condition, talk through color and sheen with you, and hand you a written, itemized quote. You pick the color. We’ll tell you honestly how it will look on your doors.
Step 2: Take Down, Label & Degrease
Doors and drawers come off and get labeled so each one goes back exactly where it came from. Then every surface is degreased and sanded, because years of cooking oil will lift a new finish right off.
Step 3: Prime, Then Build the Enamel
A bonding primer goes on first, then thin, even coats of cabinet enamel, laid off carefully so there are no runs, sags, or brush lines.
Step 4: Rehang, Adjust & Walk Through
We rehang and align the doors, reinstall your hardware, clean the kitchen, and open every cabinet with you. If something isn’t right, we fix it before we leave.

Call (973) 713-1053 Get a Free EstimateWhy Painted Cabinets Chip and Peel
Cabinets are slick, greasy, and touched a hundred times a day. When a painted cabinet fails, it’s almost always the prep. Here’s how we handle it.
Every face and edge cleaned and sanded so the primer bonds to the wood, not to old grease.
Doors and drawers are finished off the frames on both sides, so there are no runs at the hinges and no paint on the hardware.
Cabinet-grade enamel built up in even layers with proper dry time between them, so it cures hard instead of staying tacky.
What Makes a Cabinet Finish Last
Chipped edges, peeling by the sink, doors that stick shut: those problems start with rushed prep. On cabinets, prep isn’t part of the job. It is the job.
Cutting Through Kitchen Grease
Cooking oil settles on every cabinet near the range. We strip it off and scuff the surface so the primer has something to grab.
Enamels Made for Cabinets
Wall paint doesn’t belong on cabinets. We use hard-curing cabinet and trim enamels that stand up to fingers, towels, and wiping.
Patience Between Coats
Smooth coats without sags take skill. Stacking coats too fast is how doors end up sticking and a finish stays soft for good.

Straight answers to what homeowners ask before they book.
Yes, if the cabinet boxes are solid and you like the layout. Painting keeps what you have and skips demolition, new countertops, and a torn-apart kitchen. If yours are water-damaged or falling apart, we’ll tell you straight that replacement makes more sense.
Not when they’re prepped and coated correctly. We degrease, sand, and prime every surface, apply hard Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams enamel, and back the work with a written workmanship warranty.
Yes, every time. Doors and drawers are removed, labeled, and finished on all sides, then rehung and adjusted so they close square.
Yes, and it’s a change we make a lot. Oak has open grain and tannins that can bleed through light colors, so it gets the right primer first. Call (973) 713-1053 and we’ll show you what to expect on your doors.
We mask and cover counters, floors, backsplash, and appliances before any sanding starts, and keep the work area contained. When we finish, we clean up and walk the kitchen with you.
